The GMC Canyon is GMC’s smallest pickup truck option, built for those needing more power and capability around Holly Springs than an SUV can give. Perfect for towing boats or trailers to the lake or helping a friend move, the Canyon is an affordably priced pickup with enough power to have fun. That’s not to say the Canyon is strictly a street truck — there are trims that offer enhanced off-roading mobility for your more rugged adventures, and can also be suitable for contractors needing to tow or haul gear from one job to the next.
One of the most popular GMC trucks, the GMC Sierra 1500 is a versatile light-duty pickup truck that’s ready to handle the tough jobs around Cary. With more engine options available than the Canyon, including a diesel option, the Sierra 1500 is perfect for those who need more power than the Canyon can provide. Whether that means more off-roading adventures or heavier duties at the worksite, the GMC Sierra 1500 delivers.
The Sierra 1500 also bumps up the available premium tech and safety features of the Canyon, including several towing features and truck bed innovations that will make all the heavy loads easier to manage.
Have you ever wondered, “What’s the biggest GMC truck?” The answer lies in the GMC Sierra HD category. Built for the most demanding jobs, the biggest GMC trucks are the two models within the GMC Sierra HD category: the GMC Sierra 2500 HD and the GMC Sierra 3500 HD. These two GMC trucks put power at the forefront, without sacrificing comfort or tech. The GMC Sierra HD line is great for Fuquay Varina business owners looking to expand their fleet or those needing one of the toughest GMC trucks to manage their property.
If you’re interested in the commercial vein of the GMC Sierra HD line, the GMC Sierra 3500 HD Chassis Cab is also available with several upfits to choose from.
The upcoming GMC Hummer EV Pickup promises to change the game with its fully-electronic power system and impressive capabilities. While details are still forthcoming, the GMC Hummer EV Pickup promises to be an off-roading pickup that will challenge the notions of what EVs are capable of.
No matter what GMC truck you choose, you’ll find a wealth of customization options to help you with the task at hand. One of those options is the GMC truck bed sizes. Each GMC pickup comes with multiple options for bed length so that you have enough space to carry what you need around Holly Springs.
See the different GMC truck bed options by model below:
GMC Canyon Bed Options
GMC Sierra 1500 Bed Options
GMC Sierra 2500 HD & 3500 HD Bed Options
Complement your bed length by pairing it with the available MultiPro Tailgate and GMC CarbonPro™ bed with carbon-fiber composite material. These two features will make all your loading and unloading easier while keeping your truck bed scratch and dent resistant while you work around Cary.
As fuel prices fluctuate, more Raleigh drivers are looking to be more fuel-efficient as they drive and work in their new GMC pickups. The good news is that the GMC truck’s mpg ratings are impressive for their class and, with optional diesel engines, can get up to 30 mpg on the highway! Take a look at the different models GMC offers and see which GMC truck gets the best gas mileage on Fuquay Varina roads.
The GMC Canyon is the smallest of the truck lineup, granting it an advantage in fuel efficiency. Take a look at the GMC Canyon mpg ratings by engine and drivetrain below:
2.5L I4 Gas Engine
3.6L V6 Gas Engine
2.8L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel Engine
The popular GMC Sierra 1500 packs a lot of power into one pickup, with four engine options and impressive fuel efficiency. See the GMC Sierra gas mileage ratings by engine and drivetrain here:
2.7L Turbo High-Output Gas Engine
5.3L V8 Gas Engine
6.2L V8 Gas Engine
3.0L Duramax® Turbo-Diesel Engine
As heavy-duty trucks, the GMC Sierra 2500 HD and 3500 HD are not rated by the EPA for fuel efficiency, making the true GMC Sierra HD mpg ratings unknown. That said, they offer two rugged engines, a 6.6L V8 or a 6.6L V8 Turbo-Diesel, which are both able to take on whatever the road throws at them. If you’d like to make the most out of your fuel while driving a GMC Sierra HD model, read up on how to be fuel-efficient while driving for easy tips and tricks that will extend the life of a full tank.
One of the most important factors when deciding between GMC trucks is towing and payload capabilities. You’ll want to ensure that, no matter what you plan on doing on your Raleigh drives, your truck is up to the task.
While all GMC trucks are powerful pickups with impressive towing and payload specs, there is a range of power available to help every Apex driver find the exact capability they need. See our GMC truck towing guide and payload guide below and see which will be best suited for your lifestyle.
When it comes to towing and trailering, the GMC lineup delivers. See which GMC truck can tow the most below:
Keep in mind that the maximum towing capacity will differ based on the trim, options, and packages you choose for your new GMC pickup. Get a more detailed look into the towing capacities for the Canyon or Sierra 1500 here.
Towing may be important, but for many Holly Springs truck drivers loading up the truck bed is a more frequent occurrence. Keep these GMC truck payload capacities in mind when deciding on your next truck:
